ranger battalion of the u.s. army had to deal with. fighting a war where thousands of people on both sides lost their lives for freedom. >> i think we were able to succeed in what we wanted to do there. >> reporter: helping gain democracy was america's goal. the war started when then president george bush announced there was weapons of mass destruction. that is why this man is sue president bush. >> translator: i believe we were misled as citizens about the war. and we have to do something about that because otherwise, if this is right and we were misled this will happen again and again. >> reporter: san francisco state professor says the iraq war legacy will go down in history as being a bad idea. >> decades ago we had learned the lessens of vietnam.

so the question is why did we need to learn many very similar lessons once again? >> reporter: at age 26 sergeant says he knows the war he fought in is controversial but one he will always believe in. >> i think it is going to be a controversial topic for probably the rest of our lives. >> reporter: he is proud of his service but anxious to move on. he is a college student and plans to graduate in the spring. reporting live in san francisco i'm cheryl hurd, nbc bay area news. certainly the human toll for the iraq war has been high. some 4,500 military casualties but the war is expensive. the question is how much. it is the reality check sam brock takes a look at the official cost. >> the operational costs based on congressional funding figures stands around $800 billion and

counting. that is quite a large figure but miles away from what many experts see is the worst true cost. >> my greatest responsibility as president is to protect the american people. >> reporter: when he sold the iraq war to americans a decade ago, it turns out former president george w. bush was a little off on the cost estimate. he predicted a $50 billion to $60 billion operation but it is somewhere around $800 billion. here is a ticker of the running costs tabulated by the national priorities project based only on federal appropriations. you see the iraq war does come in around $800 billion but the executive director says that is a misleading number. >> this is the bearest of bones for the cost of the iraq war,

potentially the most conservative number. others would want all of us to think of a number that took in greater amounts of economic complexity. >> reporter: so let's do that. look at more complex economic issues because we know the war's operational costs aren't the only ones taxpayers are going to bank roll. there is the interest on our debt from funding the war, expansion of va services for medical and disability care, hundreds of billions spent in base spending and the a.p. report out today detailing the money we owe family of iraq war veterans, vietnam war veterans and the civil war. we are still paying civil war reparations to families. >> that is quite right. there is a whole bunch of things that we could think about military pension, cost of health care, all of these things.

>> the results of a multi year study overseen by economists, lawyers and political scientists puts the total cost around $2.2 trillion. one thing is evidently clear it is not $800 billion or 1 trillion the obama administration has estimated. not even close. i'm sam brock and that is today's reality check. we will be able to hear them but not see them when the supreme court justices debate the ban on same sex marriage no cameras will be allowed. the high profile case begins next tuesday. no cameras but the court says it will release audio recordings of the case within a couple of hours of the conclusion. also the search is on for a missing san jose state student last spotted in the santa cruz

concessi concessions. folks who have opposed the stadium say he is making promises that he just cannot keep. the san francisco 49ers stadium is going up right on schedule. the work behind the scenes to bring super bowl l is no less serious. tonight the santa clara city council will vote to sweeten the invitation. >> we are going after the golden jubilee. it would be a boom for us for the entire region to get the 50th super bowl in. it is a small investment and a large return that it is well worth the investment. >> reporter: it is likely that city council will agree to give up the 9.5% hotel tax for 350 rooms. about $6 million in ticket surcharge revenue, about $25,000 in ticket fees and $4.54 per parking spot. the community group which opposed the stadium says

forgoing income doesn't make sense. >> the nfl is a nonprofit corporation that should be paying their own expenses. having a small city as ours take on that burden is fiscally irresponsible. >> reporter: the committee is actively fundraising to back fill concessions the city makes but she says that could be a gamble that does not pay off. >> what happens if it doesn't? the america's cup in san francisco, they were promising to raise this money to pay for the infrastructure. it didn't come true. >> reporter: santa clara city council meeting begins at 6:30 tonight and then the super bowl bid committee presents their bid to the nfl owners on may 22. and the battle is down to santa clara and miami. and it is worth mentioning that miami has refused to give the nfl those concessions. so if santa clara didn't want to it would be a level playing

but it's the criminals don't recognize borders. >> reporter: police chief ken james says 95% of emeryville crime is committed by people of other cities, often oakland. >> if we need extra help for a problem area, there are 90 experienced officers we can call on to give us a hand. i can't think of any chief that would say this is a bad idea. >> reporter: he says he will have his team ready to spear head the effort. >> we think that if we can have a direct approach on targeted areas we will be successful. >> reporter: congress woman barbara lee is behind the plan and she is doing her best to secure the federal funds. he would like to get the task force on the street right away realistically he says it will take at least a year and a half to go through the approval
